HOW IT WORKS

Middle School

  

Who can attend?

The Miami Virtual Program Arizona (MVPAZ) middle school program serves students in grades 6–8 who reside in the state of Arizona.

What are the costs?

Because MVPAZ is part of the public school system, it's tuition-free. Enrolled families receive the K12 curriculum, as well as a loaner computer, printer, and internet stipend based on financial need.

What is my role as a parent?

Middle school is a time when students become more independent, taking on more responsibility and ownership for their learning and working more directly with their teachers. But parent involvement is still critical to student success. As a parent, you (or another responsible adult you choose) serve as your child's Learning Coach.

While teachers set the pace of instruction, the Learning Coach helps their student stay on track. Parent/Learning Coach involvement is essential for at least 20 hours a week and roughly 50–60 percent of this time is online. The initial 4–8 weeks can be intensive as your family settles into a routine. 

Working with Your Teacher

Teachers provide individual and small group assistance via online synchronous sessions called "Class Connects." Students are expected to attend all required Class Connects and meet with their teacher to receive course assistance, tutoring, and instruction. Class Connects vary by grade level and are scheduled by your teacher.

Expectations for Completing Schoolwork

In middle school, student learning changes to a semester-based approach where students are required to earn a passing grade of 60 percent or above on their assignments and online lessons. Due dates are assigned to lessons to encourage consistent, steady progress for academic success.

While online lessons can usually be completed at any time of day, students are required to attend teacher-led, direct-instruction, online synchronous Class Connect sessions. During Class Connects, students receive online instruction from teachers and have opportunities to interact virtually with classmates.

Attending Class Connects and completing coursework according to the assigned pacing schedule, will help set up your student for success. 

Assessments

Students are required to take the following tests:

  • Course lesson assessments
  • Course unit assessments
  • Semester assessments
  • Benchmark, diagnostic, and formative assessments to measure growth and mastery of grade-level standards

State Testing

MVPAZ students must comply with all Arizona-mandated testing requirements, which will require your student to travel to in-person locations.
